Episode 10 - S.L.A. Marshall on a Leader's People

Samuel Lyman Atwood (S.L.A.) Marshall, US Army General and military historian spent decades perfecting his leadership skills and perspectives. He not only led allied troops in WWII, but also wrote extensively on combat, soldiers, and gave the world a glimpse into a world most will never see. In his book, Men Against Fire, he captured the importance of not just being a leader, not only worrying about mission accomplishment, but also the paramount importance of caring for what that about which the led care. Though imperfect himself, he captured, perfectly, that sentiment in this episode’s quote.
